Lonely Planet review for Castello Maniace

At the southern tip of the island is the 13th-century Castello Maniace, built by Frederick II as part of a massive programme of construction that turned Ortygia into an island fortress. Still used as a barracks, the castle is generally off-limits to the public, except during the Ortygia and Greek Classical Drama Festivals when it is the atmospheric venue for musical and theatrical performances.
